A New Character Every Month

The honest boy looked sideways, and found that the one who put him down was the servant who was knocked away just now.

I have practiced martial arts at any rate, why can a servant put me down?

The simple and honest boy looked confused.

"There are assassins!"

A passerby suddenly yelled.

"Assassin? Where?"

Hearing the sound, the surrounding crowd quickly discovered the boy who was brought down and the dagger lying aside.

"Is this the assassin?"

"The assassin is so small?"

"You don't understand this, it's because you think it's impossible, this kind of talent is most likely an assassin."

Many people gradually gathered around the old butler and looked over curiously.

Under the signal of the old housekeeper, another servant stopped the approaching crowd, keeping them at a reasonable distance.

The servant held the struggling young man's hands and said with a smile, "Look at you sneaking around outside our mansion. I've been waiting for you for a few days. Sure enough, you dare to assassinate our housekeeper of Lin's mansion. You are so courageous."

"What? You found me a few days ago?"

A sense of frustration that was even greater than the failure of the assassination appeared in the heart of the simple and honest boy.

In order to monitor the side entrance of the Lin Mansion, he not only mixed in with the passers-by, but even used the tools of his master to act as a peddler, a blind fortune-teller and other people of all kinds.

He is very confident in his makeup skills, a skill that even his master is ashamed of.

But looking at it now, he was exposed on the first day.

This is undoubtedly the biggest blow to his assassin career.

"How did you find me?"

The honest boy asked unwillingly.

Jia Ding smiled and said, "You have changed so many sets of clothes and made a lot of disguises, why don't you know how to change your shoes?"

The onlookers looked at the simple and honest boy's shoes, and suddenly realized.

The toe of his shoe was split, and the toe of his right foot was still half exposed.

Seeing that the honest and honest boy wanted to ask questions, the servant directly hit him on the neck with a knife.

puff!

He passed out.

The servant looked at the old butler beside him, and said respectfully, "Old butler, what should we do with this assassin?"

The old butler said coldly: "Go back to the dungeon and ask who is behind the scenes!"

This is the first time he has been assassinated in decades.

Although he had already guessed in advance and took corresponding precautions, he still couldn't help feeling angry.

He has been ordinary for most of his life, and now he just wants to use the last of his life to see what kind of glory the Lin family can reach under the leadership of the Patriarch.

But now, since someone wants to take away even this little wish from him, how can he not be angry.

Not to mention, he is not the ordinary butler who was pushed to the edge.

Instead, he is in charge of the affairs of the Lin family, the housekeeper's confidant butler.

Once something unexpected happens to him, it means that the authority of the Lin family and the Patriarch has been challenged, which makes him even more intolerable.

The old housekeeper glanced at the crowd sharply, and many people immediately took a step back in fright.

He knew that what these people were afraid of was not him, but the Lin family behind him.

"Everyone, our Lin family has always been kind to others, and our patriarch has even won the title of being a man of urgency and righteousness. But now, there are shameless villains who want to assassinate members of our Lin family."

The old butler said angrily: "This is obviously because we can't see the return of our Patriarch; we can't see our Lin family rising again; we can't see this Qingshan City becoming prosperous again; we can't see everyone's life getting better!"

Listening to these words, some discussions appeared in the crowd.

Many people thought of Qingshan City three years ago.

Although the Lin family occupied nearly two floors of shops in Qingshan City, they did not deceive customers because of this. On the contrary, they clearly marked the price, and they had a good reputation.

On the contrary, in the past three years, as the store in the hands of the Lin family has gradually fallen into his hands, various incidents of shop bullying have occurred from time to time, and the quality of life of many people has directly dropped to a level. It is miserable, but there is no way to solve it appeal.

At this time, the old housekeeper's words filled them with grief and indignation, and they were united in a common hatred.

"It must have been done by the other two big families, the Lin family and the Yun family. In the past three years, they have taken away many shops belonging to the Lin family. Seeing the Lin family come back now, they must be scared."

"It's unreasonable, they can send assassins to assassinate the housekeeper of the Lin family today, and they can send assassins to assassinate the head of the Lin family tomorrow..."

"This housekeeper, if you find the murderer, please tell us, we will help you smash their shop."

"..."

Looking at the increasingly turbulent crowd, the old housekeeper raised a hand: "Everyone listen to me."

It was impossible for him to let this emotion continue to develop.

In case this group of people were really forced to smash up the shops of other families, the Lin family would suffer the most.

After all, many of these shops will soon return to the hands of the Lin family.

If it is smashed, some small families may not even be able to pay compensation. Isn't that the loss of the Lin family?

"Thank you for your help."

The old housekeeper said again: "I know that everyone wants to fight for my Lin family. But the reason why I said these words today is to tell those mice who are hiding in the dark that they can't see the light. Do whatever you can, our Lin family Don't be afraid!"

An excited voice came from the crowd: "I support your Lin family!"

"We also support, only the Lin family is really good for us!"

"..."

Li Mansion, hall.

Patriarch Li sat on the first seat, frowning.

"father."

Li Chensheng stepped into the hall with a relaxed expression, and asked casually, "Why do you have such an expression?"

"In another ten days, we have to hand over the three-story shop."

The owner of the Li family sighed: "These shops account for six floors of all our income. Once they are handed over, the loss will be heavy."

"Father, according to my opinion, those shops don't need to be handed over anymore, and Patriarch Lin will soon throw his hands at you and dare not force us anymore."

Li Chensheng sat on a chair, picked up the apples on the fruit plate, and gnawed them.

"A mousetrap?"

Patriarch Li's face suddenly became serious: "Son, what do you mean?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

Li Chensheng chewed the pulp, slurred his words, and said, "Just trust me."

But he didn't see Patriarch Li's face getting darker and darker. It wasn't until he finished eating an apple that he wondered why his father hadn't made a sound for so long.

Immediately, Li Chensheng turned his head to look, and immediately saw his father staring at him coldly.

Oops!

Li Chensheng's heart trembled.

The last time his father made such an expression, he was beaten until he couldn't get out of bed for three days.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Li Chensheng smiled flatteringly.

I obviously didn't say anything just now, and I brought good news to save the family from loss, so forget about me, and I still made this expression.

"What did you mean by that sentence?"

Patriarch Li said in a deep voice, subconsciously pinching the armrests on both sides with both hands, leaving a few deep fingerprints.

"Which sentence?"

Li Chensheng spared his head, not knowing why.

"You said that Patriarch Lin would throw a mouse trick."

"Oh, that, because I sent someone..."

Li Chensheng spoke with a smile, but found that his father's face became more and more cold, not only more and more frightening, his voice couldn't help lowering.

"continue!"

Patriarch Li said coldly.

Li Chensheng said cautiously: "I spent 500 taels to hire an assassin..."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Patriarch Li laughed and stood up, his face became furious again in an instant: "Why didn't I beat you to death at the beginning!"

He had just received the news that someone in the Lin family had been assassinated, and he was secretly glad that it wasn't his own.

But someone stepped forward and admitted, and this person was his own son.

Li Chensheng was so frightened that he shrank into an ostrich.

Patriarch Li said again: "Nizi, take off your clothes."

"what?"

Hearing this, Li Chensheng immediately crossed his arms: "Father, it can't be done, I'm still carrying on the family line of the Li family."

Patriarch Li's face darkened, but Li Chensheng continued as if he didn't notice it: "If you really can't help it, Dad, you can raise a few schoolboys, I don't mind."

"Rebel!"
